Welcome back bloggers! In today's post, I will be creating a scenario for you: Imagine "Super"-Hero was created by a filming industry giant, such as Disney or Paramount! What would change from what we did in our actual film if we had access to a supreme bank of money and resources? Would parts of our film change at ALL if we had access to such a piggy bank, and if so, how?
Actors
For starters, in my opinion at least, Power-Man should be played by none other than Kevin James himself! This man is a comedy legend, and I think he'd play Power-Man perfectly specifically for his performance in Paul Blart: Mall Cop! A fat, goofy cop turned goodie two-shoes "superhero" would be PERFECT for the tone we were looking to strike for this film. As for the Homeowner, due to his limited role, we don't need anyone particularly special. If we wanted to have him come back again during the film, perhaps I'd choose someone like John C. Reilly to play him. No particular reason for this choice aside from the fact that our actual Homeowner actor, Sebastian, has some resemblance to Reilly. As for the robbers, this choice is kind of hard since the way we acted in the opening was different from any actor I could think of. Liam Neeson is an obvious choice, since he is the definitive bad guy, but for the Hooded and Alien robbers things get a little complicated. For the Hooded Robber, I would probably choose Rob Delaney purely because he looks similar to Pablo, our actual actor for the Hooded Robber. As for the Alien Robber, I would keep the actor we have now (Pedro) simply because the flair he brings to the character is unmatched.
Filming equipment, special effects, etc.
As far as lighting, props, costumes and other things go for our film, I honestly wouldn't change much! Power-Man's costume would definitely get an upgrade to something a bit less handmade, but other than that the way we filmed all the scenes was solid for how we wanted the film to turn out! The only thing I'd really change with cameras is getting tripods or stabilizers so that shaky footage doesn't become an issue for us during editing. Speaking of editing, some sort of technology that keeps the house appearing as if though it were always day time would be nice considering how easily we run out of filming time. The one thing I'd say I wish WE had is extra time to film and edit. We had so many ideas for how we wanted the film to turn out and equally many of those ideas never came to fruition simply because of time limits and constraints. If we had maybe 5 minutes of film time and 1-2 months of straight filming, we could probably have produced a short film worthy of an OSCAR with the amount of quality we'd have put into the final product. For what we had and worked with, though, our film turned out pretty fantastic!
